Receiver Architectures for MIMO-OFDM Based on a Combined VMP-SP Algorithm
Iterative information processing, either based on heuristics or analytical
frameworks, has been shown to be a very powerful tool for the design of
efficient, yet feasible, wireless receiver architectures. Within this context,
algorithms performing message-passing on a probabilistic graph, such as the
sum-product (SP) and variational message passing (VMP) algorithms, have become
increasingly popular.
In this contribution, we apply a combined VMP-SP message-passing technique to
the design of receivers for MIMO-ODFM systems. The message-passing equations of
the combined scheme can be obtained from the equations of the stationary points
of a constrained region-based free energy approximation. When applied to a
MIMO-OFDM probabilistic model, we obtain a generic receiver architecture
performing iterative channel weight and noise precision estimation,
equalization and data decoding. We show that this generic scheme can be
particularized to a variety of different receiver structures, ranging from
high-performance iterative structures to low complexity receivers. This allows
for a flexible design of the signal processing specially tailored for the
requirements of each specific application. The numerical assessment of our
solutions, based on Monte Carlo simulations, corroborates the high performance
of the proposed algorithms and their superiority to heuristic approaches
Adaptive and Iterative Multi-Branch MMSE Decision Feedback Detection Algorithms for MIMO Systems
In this work, decision feedback (DF) detection algorithms based on multiple
processing branches for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing
systems are proposed. The proposed detector employs multiple cancellation
branches with receive filters that are obtained from a common matrix inverse
and achieves a performance close to the maximum likelihood detector (MLD).
Constrained minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) receive filters designed with
constraints on the shape and magnitude of the feedback filters for the
multi-branch MMSE DF (MB-MMSE-DF) receivers are presented. An adaptive
implementation of the proposed MB-MMSE-DF detector is developed along with a
recursive least squares-type algorithm for estimating the parameters of the
receive filters when the channel is time-varying. A soft-output version of the
MB-MMSE-DF detector is also proposed as a component of an iterative detection
and decoding receiver structure. A computational complexity analysis shows that
the MB-MMSE-DF detector does not require a significant additional complexity
over the conventional MMSE-DF detector, whereas a diversity analysis discusses
the diversity order achieved by the MB-MMSE-DF detector. Simulation results
show that the MB-MMSE-DF detector achieves a performance superior to existing
suboptimal detectors and close to the MLD, while requiring significantly lower
complexity.Comment: 10 figures, 3 tables; IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications,

Turbo receivers for interleave-division multiple-access systems
In this paper several turbo receivers for Interleave-Division Multiple-Access (IDMA) systems will be discussed. The multiple access system model is presented first. The optimal, Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) algorithm, is then presented. It will be shown that the use of a precoding technique at the emitter side is applicable to IDMA systems. Several low complexity Multi-User Detector (MUD), based on the Gaussian approximation, will be next discussed. It will be shown that the MUD with Probabilistic Data Association (PDA) algorithm provides faster convergence of the turbo receiver. The discussed turbo receivers will be evaluated by means of Bit Error Rate (BER) simulations and EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts
